Break up with video receipts.
We'll keep your whole show organized.
Backstage captures every buyer, tip, and raid the second it happens on Whatnot — so the moment your show ends, you're almost done shipping.
Built by a working Whatnot seller. Every signup is hand-reviewed — usually a reply within 24 hours.
With Backstage Live · auto-binning Two halves of one workflow.
Browser tools for your Chrome sidepanel, plus native apps for the heavier lifting. Everything's in private beta.
Chrome extensions, no install
Live in your browser. Pair them to cover your full pre-show and live-show workflow.
Backstage Lite

Run raid trains that stay on the rails.
The free way to organize and ride Whatnot raid trains — open sign-ups, auto-updating lineups, a personal card for every rider, and a day-of running order with live countdowns. Works with your Backstage account. The easiest way to meet the family.
Which ones are you?
Pick as many as fit. Most sellers run Prep + Lite together.
Two at once is common. iPad for running the show, desktop for the printer + scanner side of the table.
A bin doesn’t have to be a box.
Backstage captures who won what the second it happens — so when the show ends you’re packing, not running a scavenger hunt through your sold inventory.
Numbered cards on your rack
Number the rack you already run and hang items behind each one.
Numbered poly bags
A bag per buyer — all the grouping of a box, none of the bulk.
A shelf or bins
Group straight into bins on a rolling shelf as the sales land.
Packed by the time you end
Drop each win into its box as it happens — end the stream already packed.
Built by a seller, not a startup.
I sell live too. The parts of the job I hate most are the parts that take the longest.
Listing is tedious — uploading inventory one item at a time, hunting for the right photo. Shipping is worse: hours after the show matching numbered inventory to buyers, until a sticker falls off or the rack tips and you give up and go back to the video receipts.
I built Backstage because none of the existing tools worked the way I do — so I added the parts I kept wishing for. Same philosophy through all of them.
